LONG SENTENCE. A burglar dubbed the ''Diaper Bandit'' because he committed lewd acts in front of small children after breaking into houses was sentenced to 80 years in prison Friday. Rodney Allen Kincaid, 24, pleaded guilty to two counts of burglary with intent to commit sexual battery and one count of burglary to commit theft. Kincaid was a suspect at one time in at least 15 burglaries and at least seven lewd assaults when he was arrested Aug. 17. Twelve break-ins occurred between January and April of 1988 in northwest Orange County. During that time, six girls between ages 3 months and 12 years were fondled or exposed to lewd acts, according to Orange County sheriff's investigators.
